THE NIGERIAN COVID-19
There you go sir. I restrained myself from reacting to Dr. Chinedu's write ups on the doubts by Nigerians on COVID -19 for a good number of reasons. First among the reasons is that I am an opinion moulder. My opinions on national issues matter a lot.
Truth is yes, there is COVID in Nigeria, evidently so. But our politicians are treating us like fools, hence the general apathy and lethargy.
When Ebola was in Nigeria, we were told the name of the index case and how he came in. With COVID, we know nothing about his or her name. What we know is that he is Italian. We all know the nurse who died fighting Ebola. We know her family. We were shown on national TV her burial rites. With COVID, we have never seen any of such.
Also take a look at the following: a supposed index case was arrested in Makurdi for telling the press that she was negative. She has since been locked up. For six weeks now, no one has told us if she has died where they locked her up for lying .
if she tested positive as the government wants us to believe, why is she still alive in her detention? Why are the journalists who interviewed her not testing positive? God is such a wonderful God to Nigerians.
A popular pharmacist in Anambra was arrested and quarantined for testing positive to COVID. In his isolation centre, he addressed a press conference alleging that he was being used for political gains. The Anambra state commissioner for information, a former colleague of mine, refuted saying the man was mentally imbalanced as a result of what he has suffered from COVID and we should disregard him.
The man has since gone home. None of the journalists who interviewed the man who was positive and called a press conference has tested positive. And we know they did not wear protective gears to the interview. Wonderful God.
We hear government is spending billions of naira on palliatives for citizens. We have never seen nor met anyone who says, "yes, I am a Beneficiary."
They say they are spending millions to feed school children who are at home. Can anyone here say his or her own children at home have benefited from such largesse?
They announced in Abuja that they are going from house to house in the FCT to distribute palliatives. Since then I have not been locking gate in case the FCT minister and his team decide to visit me unannounced with my own ration. When they come, I will tell you. But I don't believe them.
They told us Atiku's son tested positive and slept and danced with ladies at a night club in abuja. Only he tested positive. His wife and children nko? Wonderful Allah.Governor El rufai announced he tested positive and went into self isolation. Two weeks later he announced he tested negative. There is no testing centre in Kaduna. NCDC said they never tested the governor. Who tested him, where, when??? Alahu Akbar.
In other parts of the world, we see COVID patients struggling for breath. In Nigeria, COVID patients stage protests at isolation centres for lack of welfare. So are they so healthy to stage protests? Nigerians are known to be resilient even on their dying beds.
In some isolation centres we have seen COVID patients complain and escape from isolation centres. And they have COVID? But they are healthy enough yo escape?
Last month, there was a scandal in one of the isolation centres in Abuja. Sex scandal. Male and female COVID patients were frolicking. Government said they felt embarrassed and then realized the urgent need to separate males from female isolation centres.
COVID patients are healthy to engage in that type of physical and emotional exercise without observing social and physical distancing?? Were they spouses?/No. They only met at the isolation centre and fell in love. No wonder, Jesus wept when Lazarus died.
We have never seen any of the wives of the big men who said they tested positive also testing positive. This Nigerian COVID must be discriminatory. It takes only the men and ignore their wives. Lucky women.
Last week, Chief Raymond Dokpesi owner of Raypower FM announced they said he tested positive and he went to the hospital in Gwagwalada Abuja. He said they administered chloroquine on him and he tested negative. He then asked in a video that went viral, what are the differences between symptoms of malaria and COVID. We are still waiting for answers.
Everyday the number keeps increasing. We never see the dead being buried. In Italy we see ambulances taking away corpses every now and then. But in Nigeria, baaaabu
They imposed a curfew in Nigeria. Stay indoors between 8pm and 6am. Go to work between 6am and close at 3pm.
So, our own type of COVID moves around only at night?. Made in Nigeria COVID.
Yes, there is COVID in Nigeria from all indications, but citizens no longer trust their leaders. We don't believe them because of the too many liars surrounding the pandemic.
Fifteen Chinese doctors came to Nigeria six weeks ago to help us fight COVID. Last week, Nigeria's minister for health said he did not know their whereabouts. Today, the minister for interior said they did not come at the instance of Nigerian government but to work for a Chinese company, CCECC based in Abuja.
I am happy that Oga Charlie is disheartened at the barefaced lies Nigerian ministers tell. You just watched NTA news and you are so annoyed, abi?. Metu lu eyi eka nwele
There is COVID in Nigeria. But it is not the same type you have elsewhere. Our own is made in Nigeria. It could be more contagious than the type you know.
Will I be angry that Nigerians are getting increasingly disillusioned with their government and saying they are not sure of this COVID anymore? NO.
Is there COVID in Nigeria, yes. Is our government telling us the truth about it? NOOOOO.
Good night
Chief Cyril O.Oleh (Ph.D)
